<p>the history of <code>std::hint::black_box</code> is kind of muddled due to being associated with the stalled custom test runner RFC, but it's useful enough that it would be worthwhile to stabilize it on its own. Any objections to me opening a PR? Is it big enough that it deserves a full RFC first? jonhoo had some suggestions about the name, but I don't know how eager people are to start bikeshedding it: <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74853">https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74853</a></p>

<p>I'm not eager to bikeshed it, but I also would be perfectly happy to <span aria-label="+1" class="emoji emoji-1f44d" role="img" title="+1">:+1:</span> almost any self-explanatory name.</p>
